---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Aug 1996 12:59:01 -0500 (CDT) From: S};iu.4Pn8% <spirkle@tenet.edu> To: Wolfgram@.MISSING-HOST-NAME., Linda <lwolfgram@BENTON.K12.IA.US> Subject: Re: TARGET: Paperbacks in collection Ihave separated my paperbacks from my hardback books because the tiny books kept falling through the shelves and getting lost among the bigger books. I add PB in front or on top of all the regular call numbers to let my students know where they are located. I also put any prebpund paperbacks in this cataegory. We are using the Accelerated Reading Program in our 6-8th grade reading classes and the teachers request more paperbacks than hardbacks for this program. Even books that are classics and come in hardback, we also buy in the preabound paperback format for this program. I bought special slanted shelves for these books so that they don't fall through. I have about 3,000 paperbacks and 9,000 hardbacks in my library which serves about 600 students. We have fixed scheduling for 6th grade and flexible for everyone else. With 40-50 drop-ins every period, it is easier for the students to find books for the reading program without very much help. Hope that this helps.
